In 2025, the VFR IGN (Visual Flight Rules) maps in France continue to be essential tools for pilots, offering a detailed representation of the aerial landscape. These maps, published by the National Institute of Geographic and Forestry Information (IGN), are specifically designed for visual navigation, allowing pilots to identify landmarks and navigation elements for visual flight.
The VFR IGN France 2025 maps are the result of continuous evolution, integrating the latest geographic and aeronautical data to ensure optimal accuracy. They cover the entire French territory, including mountainous areas, urban zones, and specific airspaces. Pilots can thus plan their routes based on geographic features, airports, controlled airspaces, and significant landmarks.
One of the distinctive features of the VFR IGN France maps is their scale, which is adapted for visual navigation. With variable scales depending on the regions, they allow pilots to zoom in on specific areas to obtain more precise details. These maps also provide vital information such as terrain altitudes, natural and artificial obstacles, as well as recommended air routes.
Aerodromes are clearly identified, with detailed information on available facilities, radio frequencies, and approach procedures. Control zones and restricted airspaces are also indicated, helping pilots to comply with airspace rules and avoid sensitive areas.
The VFR IGN France 2025 maps are designed to meet the needs of both leisure and professional pilots, offering a balanced combination of cartographic details and aeronautical information. Their use remains essential for the safety and accuracy of aerial navigation, thus contributing to maintaining high aviation standards in France. Whether for tourism flights, aerial work missions, or training flights, the VFR IGN maps remain an indispensable instrument for pilots operating in French airspace.
